My Best Friend's Father
She hasn’t even texted.
Ring, ring, ring.
The phone rings again. I stand, grab my jacket, and pull it out. My heart slams into my chest when I see “Fenice.” She’s calling me—she’s finally calling me! I could do backflips, I’m so happy. Smiling ear to ear, I press the answer button, but the call ends as I do. Heart pounding, I call her back. The entire time it rings, my heartbeat thunders in my ears.
